Communications & Advocacy

  • Our Bond Advocacy Plans are a one-stop shop for message crafting and communication to ensure a school district's needs are not lost in the greater complexities of school finance. Too many times bond elections fail due to voter confusion about the differences in M&O and I&S funding and the impact of legislative action. We work with your team to craft clear and concise messaging that simplifies these points of confusion and allows the conversation to focus on the needs being addressed in your bond package.

  • - Develop tailored messaging for school district officials and administration to communicate school finance and property tax to board and community

    - Train new staff in effectively and concisely communicating the financial needs of the school district and the impact of outside variables such as legislative action, overall tax base and economic climate on school district funding

    - Ongoing support in message crafting and presentations for tax rate adoption, budget adoption and legislative updates
